Synopsis

Written by a leading lawyer with first-hand experience of some of the toughest arguments, How to Argue is a fun, entertaining and no-holds-barred guide to everything you need to know about arguing.

We all do it every day; arguing is part of life. We can do it unknowingly, sometimes subtly and sometimes very explosively, but however we do it, most of us know that we argue badly.

Imagine being able to face any argument free of the fear, confusion and intimidation that your opponent is probably experiencing. Imagine knowing that, win or lose, your argument has been made convincingly, confidently and without losing your temper.

In How To Argue you’ll learn all the golden rules of successful arguing and explore many of the situations in life and work where arguments are most likely to happen.

This is the definitive guide to how to argue persuasively, positively and powerfully - in any situation.

 

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The ability to persuade, influence and convince is a vital skill for success in work and life.  However, most of us have little idea how to argue well. Indeed, arguing is still seen by many as something to be avoided at all costs, and mostly it’s done really badly – or not at all. Yet it’s possibly the most powerful and yet most neglected asset you could have.

 

Discover the art of arguing powerfully, persuasively and positively and you’ll have a head start every time you want to:

 

• Put your point across effectively
• Persuade other people to your way of thinking
• Keep your cool in a heated situation
• Win people over
• Get what you want
• Tackle a difficult person or topic
• Be convincing and articulate
• Have great confidence when you speak

 

In How to Argue, leading lawyer, husband and father Jonathan Herring reveals the secrets and subtleties of making your case and winning hearts and minds. At home or at work, you’ll be well equipped to make everything you say have the desired effect, every time.
